anti seize is a nickel based grease
Loctite is a "glue" that sticks nuts to Bolts...
comes in different grades easy removal and heat/force removal...
Some anti-seize is copper-based (Kopr-Kote) as well.
I have been very impressed with the stainless hardware I get from Totally Stainless. Its just that I have never used Loctite, anti-seize or anything before this. Torque things properly and use the appropriate lockwashers and that's the end of it. Its another story with stainless so it caught me off guard. Thanks all!
Out of curiosity, why are you so adamant on using stainless hardware anyways? Stainless U-bolts seem very unnecessary and have too many "What-if's" for me.
I've only ever had issues with steel u-bolts when unbolting, and if they're damaged or break you replace them.
